Chapitre 110: Ambiguity

Alex's gaze was too intense, causing Zoe to stiffen and lose her footing on flat ground. Her left foot tripped over her right, and she tumbled down awkwardly.

Her knee hit the ground hard, and Alex, without a word, quickly went over to help her up. Before Zoe could react, she found herself enveloped in Alex's embrace.

Her heart began to race, her face growing hot—whether from the alcohol or the closeness, she wasn't sure—and Alex's scent filled her nostrils.

"How could you be so careless?" Alex's voice, deep and melodious like a cello, sounded above her.

Feeling her blood rush, Zoe quickly pushed Alex away.

"I'm sorry..."

She ran off immediately, embarrassed by her clumsy fall.

Watching Zoe's hasty retreat, Alex chuckled softly to himself and then followed her back into the private room.
